50$ Reward. RAN away from my plantation at the Walnut Hills on the 12th instant, two negro men, who were purchased in Kentucky by G. W. Grant, and brought to this state on on the 25th of December last, in the steam boat Napolean: viz: George, stout made, about 22 years of age, five feet 5 or 6 inches high, sulky countenance. Isaac, about 27 years of age, five feet 4 or 5 inches high, small made, pretty much in proportion to his height, free spok-en, sensible and smart: He was a waggoner in the service during the last war with Great Britain, and taken pri-soner into Canada. It is thought they went off in a skiff belonging to Mr. H. P. Morancy, which was missing im-mediately after their departure. The above reward will be given to any person who will secure said negroes so that I get them again; or 25$ for each of them. They may be delivered to H. P. Morancy at the Wal-nut Hills, or the subscriber at Natchez—and expences, in delivering them, paid in addition to the above reward. Catesby B. Minnis. The Editors of the Whig, Nashville, are requested to insert the above three times, and forward their account to this office for payment. Natchez, March 25, 1819. 21tf.
